"By the end of this decade or shortly thereafter, television networks as we know them today will cease to exist. They will be just another url on the world wide web competing against millions of others." "Network evening newscasts will go dark after the '08 elections and their news divisions disbanded."

Maybe if they redouble the sound volume on the commercials it will bring in more viewers and advertisers.

Best case for the networks:
In prime time, Ms. Reif Cohen projects ... The CW's total is expected to decline 15% to $560 million. Worst case for the networks: ... and the CW would plummet 15% to $560 million.
Well I guess a 15% plummet is worse than a 15% decline.

The exciting new game show for the 2008 ABC Fall lineup: Who Wants to Be a Network Executive.
A contestant will be given complete control of the network for one week. If the Nielsen rating go up, he gets to stay on for another week. As long as ratings increase he can stay. But if the ratings go down for even one week, he'll be fired and replaced with a new contestant.

"Network evening newscasts will go dark after the '08 elections and their news divisions disbanded."
I dunno if that will really happen. It might be wishful thinking on the part of the writer.
